The funeral of CervicalCheck campaigner Lynsey Bennett took place in Co Longford today, where she was described as a woman who had a “remarkable spirit” within her, with “a vitality and energy for life” - so much so that she amazed her family by doing “wheelchair wheelies” just three days before she passed away.

The 34-year-old lost her life to an invasive form of cervical cancer on Thursday, and is survived by her two daughters Zoë, 13, and Hailee, eight.
